Is is illegal to use someone elses copy of World Of Warcraft?

My sister and her husband have bought the game, and are telling me not to buy it because I can just use their copy to put it on my computer.. But I told her no that it was illegal to do that, and she said it is not illegal. Then she told me that because there is no "code" that its not illegal. Is this illegal?????

Update:

no I dont care about the FBI, but I know its rare in this modern age, but some people still have a code of ethics. I am not dishonest and I dont cheat, and I dont steal. So if in any way it was illegal, I dont want to do it.. So I am relaxing, thanks for looking out for me.

    Even if it would be illegal (it's not ...but presuming...) do u think FBI will come after u ? :)) Seriously, 90 % of the games are pirated ... people are downloading lots of torrents everyday, cracked games, serials , key generators ... u can relax :P

    Cheers !

    no its not illegal but you can't create your own account cause there is a code, each expansion has one and you enter it to your account. Which keeps people from sharing their copy and cracking it. They don't care how many computers you install it on but they make sure you paid for each for every account you have.

    You can do that legally, hell you can even download the basic game from blizzard, but you will still need to pay the monthly fee. Also the expansion packs have a key and you will need to buy those.
